New pics of my project S13..

Post by **PSI240SX** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

most of you know I sold my beloved S14 KAT monster and now own an s13 that I have done a lot of work to in a short time. Here are some pics of the interior and so on... and a link to a video of drifting in the rain... http://planb-attack.com/Jay/jaydrift.mpg kinda weak but there was traffic around so I didnt wanna get to carried away lol. I will have it in the body shop soon getting the silvia front end, and bomex front bumper fitted. Going to change the color too. I'll keep ya updated.

So far: S13 SR20DET, Greddy Downpipe, Greddy FMIC, Apex N1 exhaust, pop charger, LSD, 300zxTT brakes, SS brake lines, 6 point custom welded cage, 5 lug conversion, whiteline sway bars and bushings, eibachs, tokico's, S14 leather, short shifter, Volk CV-Pro wheels 17x8 and 17x9, 10psi. I will be going to the track this wednesday to see what it will do. Its really quite fun to drive although considerably slower than the s14 it's a bit more nimble.

Post by **PSI240SX** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

sorry for the confusion... my signature is my old car, the s14. I sold it. I ran 11.92 and coasted through the traps, broken distributor. It was faster but never had a chance to go back before it was sold.

Post by **MainEvent212** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

niiiice.

NeedCAforS13- Yeah it was the brewers curves lol, I drifted it way better the last time it rained but didnt have a camera man.

nlzmo400r- Yeah thanks man, that car was a monster. I just want it to run low 13's. As soon as its finished it will be for sale.

sims- I have always loved the way s13's feel in corners and I have always wanted a silvia front end. SR was done for simplicity reasons and the demand. I am building theis to sell to someone and the sr20det has universal appeal with import drivers.

mainevent212- I spent $1800 for pistons and rods, $300 for machine work and cleanup, $300 for bearings and gaskets and $100 for rings. That's it for engine internals. The s13 is for fun and to sell, I like building cars and selling them and starting new projects, like maybe an RB powered S13 or 14.

SilviaLuvr- actually I am 230lbs and I can fit back there lol. Its a pain to get in and out but after you do its not bad. Its pretty dangerous though, no seat belts so if a sudden impact happens from the front, whoever is back there (hopefully no one) will have a cracked sternum for sure.

Nismo1182- Sure man no problem just ask me when you see me.

slw240sx- A friend of mine built it for me, all from scratch. If you wanna come to florida I'm sure he can accomodate you.

Post by **Former_240_s14** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

that s13 is a beautiful car! do you mind me asking why you sold your s14??? That was also a gorgeous car as well. I am just starting my project s14 as we speak. I just ordered my 6puck ACT clutch from Dauntless and next when I get my taxes back its Teins Springs, Koni Adjustables, Energy Suspension bushings kit, and rear strut bar.

Then as soon as cnichols and a couple of us finish his KILLER s14 ka-t, its on to pieceing together my turbo. I am going same turbo as you I think. Turbonetics t3/to4e hybrid I think (could be wrong on numbers, new at this turbo stuff).

Keep us updated on you new sweet ride!!!!

The real story is, I had a great time with the S14 but I had it for 2 years and with the way I drive there was no telling how long that motor was gonna last. I put 9000 extremely hard miles on it. The videos on the net of me are how I drove that car all the time, I wasn't just showing off for the camera. My plan was to take the money and start buying cars and selling them for profit as I have a knack for finding great deals. Not to mention I sold it for $13,500 and didn't owe anything on it. The guy who bought the car from me brought along a friend who has a turbo KA as well to check the car out cuz the guy didnt know anything about cars really. After it was sold I mentioned that I was gonna go look at an s13 for a daily driver and the guy he brought said that he belongs to a mailing list and someone on there had an s13 for sale about 3 hours from here. Well once I got it and had all that money burning my pocket I couldnt resist.My turbo was a T3/T04E 60 trim compressor .70 a/r and the turbine is a stage 3 .63 a/r Hope that helps.

I know this is kind of petty, but what shifter and knob did you use to get it so low. it's a pet peeve of mine but I hate shifters that sit really high like my current one. Thanks!!

Post by **MainEvent212** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

wow...that's REALLY low...please tell me that's not an after-effect of the sr20det swap

Post by **PSI240SX** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

It's an OBX two piece shifter but I am not utilizing the upper half. Feels like a miata shifter now, I love it.

Post by **encasemyheart** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

psi240sx: Quick question, I noticed on your KA setup you were running a T3/T04E 60 Trim, how quick were you at full boost? I'm considering that turbo at .63 A/R for my KAT and was just wondering for comparison...I don't want something that spools too slowly. Thanks.

BTW do you like your SR20 or your old KAT better?

Post by **implict** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

Damn..... real nice

1 question though... why not take ou tthe back seats???

Post by **nismodave** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

Post by **Gregariousgreg** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

Post by **wingzero** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:31 pm

Hey, I'm just curious, but what offsets are your front and rear wheels? I want to go with 8 in the front and 9 in the rear as well.

Thanks, Johann

Ahh I drive that road every day to work, the car looks awsome.

How much for a rollcage in a subaru impreza?

NeedCAforS13- I think I see you driving around all the time, do you have black wheels, black lip, and red harnesses? Im in the black impreza with the roof scoop.
